Can’t believe it is gifting season but here we are! I’m still prepping my holiday page but wanted to get this gift guide up since our small business friends deserve so much love this season and their shipping times are typically longer than big retailers. Here’s a round-up of 13 small businesses that have incredibly thoughtful and well-made products from candles and watches, to wine clubs and custom toddler books. Many of which are part of the EDPfam or I personally know in some way. Scroll to the bottom to shop each and see why I love ‘em.

Hotel Lobby Candle: premium candles inspired by the travels of one of my fave travel bloggers, Lindsay Silberman. The scents will literally transport you to your favorite destination! Not to mention the packaging is so unique and special. A candle or set would make the perfect gift for any girlfriend or host.

Vaer Watches: founded in Venice by my cousin and his friend, these watches are assembled in the U.S. and blend tasteful design with extreme durability and functionality. Obviously every guy in my family has one and loves! This is an especially perfect gift if your man into adventure, surfing, etc. because it can withstand the elements.

Month of May Linens: gorgeous Turkish towels, blankets, and linens that can also be personalized. The founder is EDPfam and has sent us some beautiful pieces over the past few years. Her products would make great gifts for new homeowners or parents.

BFFs + Babes: the cutest sweatshirt and tees for women and babes. You can find everything on their Etsy store and even personalize many products. I love BFFs + Babes products for expecting and new mamas!

Sweet Shot Studio Candles: a vibey candle brand from my girl Shay Moné. I am so inspired by Shay and her husband on the daily - from their style, family vibe, and creativity - I just know these candles must be all sorts of good.

Low Maintenance Lifestyle: premium activewear for the low maintenance girl. I am personally obsessed with their high waisted leggings (bless the side pocket) and I love how they feature so many different body types on the website. These leggings are honestly great for any gal in you life!

Azzurra Capri Sandals: recently got a pair of these handmade sandals for our Miami trip and they are fab. Def a great option for your travel loving friends.

Parpala Jewelry: hands down my favorite brand for necklaces. They quality is unmatched! Also the owner is the sweetest and she started the company from a side hobby back in her 20s. use code: ASHLEY15 for 15% off.

Haven Namai Candles: we’ve got a strong candle game on this guide so there is no reason to shop BIG when it comes to candles - hah. These amazing smelling and looking candles are created by my friend Jessi Malay and her hubby. I would personally love one paired with a bottle of wine!

KINDERKRAMA Toddler Book: customized quiet book for your fave toddler. Definitely order sooner than later because they take awhile to make and ship. Luna is obsessed with hers!

Whiskey + Lace Wine Club: for any friend or family member who loves wine! Erika does an incredible job curating her quarterly box and includes a delicious recipe to pair with the wine.

MARA: my holy grail face oil and sunscreen brand started by my friend Allison. This would be such a special stocking stuff for sisters, mamas, or friends.
